- Portia is talking about a hypothetical situation regarding living as long as Sibylla.
- In English, the subjunctive mood is used for wishes or hypothetical situations.
- The subjunctive mood uses the form "were" instead of "was" for these contexts.
- Option 1: "is" indicates present tense, not suitable for hypothetical contexts.
- Option 3: "was" is indicative mood, not the appropriate form here.
- Option 4: "has" indicates possession or present perfect tense, unsuitable in this context.
Given that we’re discussing a hypothetical scenario, "were" is the correct choice.
Option 2, "were" is correct.
